The Childrens Scholarship Fund

Giving Parents a Choice, Giving Children a Chance

Founded in 1998, the Children’s Scholarship Fund (CSF) provides scholarships to low-income families so their children can attend the K-8 schools that best meet their needs. This school year alone, CSF is funding scholarships for more than 26,500 low-income children across the country, including 7,845 in New York City. To date, CSF, along with its partner programs nationwide, has invested $789 million in scholarships for 174,000 children, including 33,000 New York City children.
